Backpack
Your Backpack is used to carry various items. The maximum number of items that can be carried in your Backpack in the Kai, Magnakai, and Grey Star series is eight; for the Grand Master and New Order series it is ten. If you lose your Backpack, you cannot keep any Backpack Items until you find a Backpack in which to keep them. If you have lost your Backpack in an adventure and haven't yet found one before beginning the next adventure, you will be given a new one when you choose your equipment.
Lone Wolf Club Newsletter #12 clarifies: "Realistically, you can only wear one Backpack at a time, and carry a maximum of eight Backpack Items (Special Items not included)."
Backpack Items may also be kept in Safekeeping.
Backpack (Freeway Warrior)
Your Backpack is used to carry various items. The maximum number of items that can be carried in your Backpack is ten. However, the more items you carry in your Backpack, the more your Stealth score is penalised. This "Encumbrance" rule was devised by Joe Dever because of the number of items Lone Wolf can carry without it impacting upon his speed and maneuverability.
Belt Pouch
Your Belt Pouch stores 50 Gold Crowns or an equivalent amount of another currency.
Bow
(Weapon carried in the hand) You must have at least one Arrow (usually carried in a Quiver) to use a Bow--more if the text requires it. You cannot use a Bow in combat, but will be told in the text when you have an opportunity to use it. If you enter combat armed only with a Bow, it is the same as if you were unarmed. The Magnakai Discipline of Weaponmastery and the Grand Master Discipline of Grand Weaponmastery both afford bonuses to use of a Bow.
Broadsword
(Weapon carried in the hand) This Weapon requires the use of two hands in combat.
Bronin Vest
(Special Item worn on the body) The Bronin Vest is a type of armour that adds 3 COMBAT SKILL points and 1 ENDURANCE point to your total. It may be used in conjunction with a Padded Leather Waistcoat for a cumulative 3 ENDURANCE point bonus (see Lone Wolf Club Newsletter Summer Special 1985), but may not be worn in conjunction with a Chainmail Waistcoat.
